Well I’m not a parent (that I know of) and I’m not *entirely* sure children are human beings, but when they’re my customers and get all teary after losing their painstakingly put together scripts, then I get irritated by the system being less helpful than it could be.

Besides, in a busy classroom (have you ever been a room full of excited 6 year olds) things get tripped over, snagged on waving arms, knocked over in the sheer drama of *making an LED flash!!!!* and so on. So yeah, we should flush everything possible when writing out a script. In fact I should probably see about making autosave of some form now I think of it.
